Reds team up with Spirit of Shankly on new mental health project

LFC Foundation and its community team, Red Neighbours, are joining forces with supporters union Spirit of Shankly to deliver a season-long mental health project for fans.

The new initiative is being announced to coincide with World Suicide Prevention Day, with its purpose to raise awareness of mental health through a range of targeted events, sessions and training. It is hoped that these joint activities will inspire conversation and action by supporters to remove the stigma around mental health and improve knowledge and understanding.

Bringing together LFC Foundation, Red Neighbours and Spirit of Shankly’s volunteers and members, the project will give fans and their friends and family the opportunity to attend matchday (when permitted) and non-matchday events to speak with specialist staff and access key support services.
